Biography

Blanca Ayuso de Dios received her Ph.D. in Mathematical Sciences from Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain) in October 2003. She then took a postdoctoral position at the Istituto di Matematica Applicata e Tecnologie Informatiche ( IMATI-CNR) at  Pavia (Italy) where she was working for more than three years. She came back to Madrid in January 2007 as an Assistant Professor and since January 2010, she works at the Centre de Recerca Matematica at Barcelona, with a Ramon y Cajal contract  (Government Tenure-Track Research position).

Her research is mainly concerned with the development and analysis of numerical methods (mainly of finite element type) for Partial Differential Equations. 

She has been also very active in the analysis and development of fast solvers for the algebraic systems arising from the numerical discretizations; in particular domain decomposition and multilevel methods.

The applications in which she works, are mostly related to Continuum-Mechanics and Plasma Physics.
